Martial God Asura

Chapter 6270: I Agree

All eyes were locked on the person whom Chu Feng conjured out of thin air. The crowd couldn’t believe what they were seeing, for the other party was indeed Huangfu Shengyu!

“B-b-brother, what’s going on? You didn’t kill him?” Wang Qiang asked via voice transmission.

Back in the Nine Heavens’ Zenith, Chu Feng fought with Huangfu Shengyu, but only Chu Feng was left standing in the end. This led everyone to think that he had killed Huangfu Shengyu.

“I didn’t know how powerful the Huangfu Heavenly Clan was, so I kept a hand and merely stowed Huangfu Shengyu away in a spatial formation. I thought that I could use him as leverage against the Huangfu Heavenly Clan. I didn’t expect him to come in handy now,” Chu Feng replied via voice transmission.

“The hell! No wonder you were s-s-so fearless!” Wang Qiang widened his eyes in realization.

He finally understood why Chu Feng had remained calm despite having made a fool of the Huangfu Heavenly Clan in the Immemorial Bloodline Tower. By then, Chu Feng had already realized how important Huangfu Shengyu was to the Huangfu Heavenly Clan, and that he could use the latter as a hostage against them.

All Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen turned to their clan chief.

“Lord Clan Chief, is that truly young master Shengyu?” a clansman asked.

They couldn’t tell if Chu Feng had conjured a fake Huangfu Shengyu to fool them. They reckoned that the clan chief should know better, given that Huangfu Shengyu was his son.

“Yes, it’s Shengyu,” the clan chief replied hoarsely.

Huangfu Shengyu’s life token had shattered, but his corpse was nowhere to be found. So, the clan chief harbored a sliver of hope that Huangfu Shengyu was alive, though he also mentally prepared himself for the latter’s death.

Despite his best attempt to remain calm, the clan chief couldn’t conceal his relief and delight when Huangfu Shengyu appeared alive in front of him.

The Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen were overjoyed to hear that.

Huangfu Shengyu possessed the Saint-tier Heavenly Lightning Bloodline. Many viewed him to be their clan’s hope, and they lamented his death. His return was, needless to say, good news.

However, two people had awkward looks on their faces—Huangfu Jiangxing and Huangfu Jiangyue. They had thought Huangfu Jiangxing would become the next clan chief after Huangfu Shengyu’s demise, but their plans were dashed now that Huangfu Shengyu had returned alive.

The Huangfu Heavenly Clan was going to be Huangfu Shengyu’s.

This made Huangfu Jiangxing look at Chu Feng with further hatred. It was one thing for the latter to steal his energy in the Immemorial Bloodline Tower, but him bringing Huangfu Shengyu back to the clan had truly put him in a dire position.

“So you were the one who hurt Shengyu! Men, capture him!” Huangfu Jiangxing roared.

But much to his astonishment, not a single person heeded his command. The clan chief’s contemptuous gaze made his face turn even paler—the clan chief was telling him that he had no place to be issuing commands here.

Intense killing intent enveloped Chu Feng, causing both Chu Feng and Wang Qiang’s robes to flutter wildly.

“I advise you to stay calm, Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief. My life is bound to your son’s.”

He opened up his finger and showed that each of his fingers was tied to an almost indiscernible formation thread. These formation threads were linked to Huangfu Shengyu’s dantian.

“Father, he’s telling the truth.” Huangfu Shengyu raised his head to look at his father.

“Shengyu, what happened?” the clan chief asked Huangfu Shengyu. He was more inclined to believe his son than Chu Feng.

“I was useless. I brought shame to the Huangfu Heavenly Clan.”

Huangfu Shengyu’s face was filled with shame, but he still told the clan chief about everything that had happened in the Nine Heavens’ Zenith.

“Chu Feng, even if you have spared my son, Shengyu, you have still taken the lives of our other clansmen. Do you expect us to turn a blind eye to that?” the clan chief questioned.

“Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief, you are a cultivator too, so I shan’t waste my breath preaching the law of the jungle. Your son is here; why don’t you ask him who started it? Your son should be glad he has your backing. I only spared his life because I don’t want things to reach an irreconcilable stage, or else he deserves death for what he has done,” Chu Feng sneered.

“Audacious! You hurt our young master and killed our clan’s prodigies! Such a crime is enough for us to sentence your clan to death! How dare you continue uttering nonsense here?”

Thunderous voices echoed from the surroundings. The Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s domineering attitudes could be fully felt.

Wang Qiang tried to speak up for Chu Feng, but his words drowned in the sea of voices around them. No one could hear his words. All that could be heard was the Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s criticisms of Chu Feng.

Chu Feng didn’t say a word. He merely did an action, and everything fell silent.

He whipped out a dagger.

The Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen thought that Chu Feng was going to harm Huangfu Shengyu, so they quickly shut their mouths out of fear. But what Chu Feng did next shocked them.

Chu Feng plunged the dagger into his own chest.

AH!

A wail of agony ensued, but it was not from Chu Feng but Huangfu Shengyu.

Huangfu Shengyu clutched his chest. To the crowd’s shock, a wound identical to Chu Feng’s had appeared on his chest and was bleeding profusely.

It dawned on the crowd that Chu Feng had linked his life to Huangfu Shengyu. Any injury sustained by Chu Feng would be inflicted on Huangfu Shengyu too.

Chu Feng was threatening them now with his action. If the Huangfu Heavenly Clan dared to lay their hands on him, Huangfu Shengyu would go down with him.

Pu!

Fresh blood spurted as Chu Feng pulled out his dagger. He looked as if he was going to stab himself once more.

“Stop! Stop right now!” the Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen exclaimed, frightened that Chu Feng would continue to self-harm.

They couldn’t care less about Chu Feng, but their young master was already in poor condition. He couldn’t take such torture!

Chu Feng held his dagger up as he looked at the clan chief. “I’m not here to debate right and wrong with you. I’m here to negotiate with you. There are only two options. You can either work with me to take down the Seven Realms Immortal Sect, and I’ll fuse the energy I obtained from the Immemorial Bloodline Tower into Huangfu Shengyu and return him safely to you. Or else...”

Chu Feng was about to reveal the second option when the clan chief interjected, “I’ll accept your partnership.”
